House Sitting in Skaneateles

“Taryn wasn't able to meet Zima until she got here to babysit. She walked in the door and immediately started talking and went right over to Zima and started petting her and talking to her. I was instantly at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the night and told me what she was doing and how well she ate her dinner. She had to give her some medication and she let me know that she took it well.I would recommend Taryn to anyone.”

“Anastasia was so flexible. We needed to leave much earlier than expected and she showed up early at a moment’s notice. As always, our dogs love her. Thanks.”

“Joey watches my dog very often when I am working overnights and out of town! Louie loves when he comes over and when I say “Joey is watching him”. He is always very tired because they played so hard and always has enough food and water. Definitely recommend joey to watch your pet…treats them like his own!”

“John was fantastic! Our very shy dog with separation anxiety warmed up to him immediately, and our cat loved him too. He sent regular updates and pictures and took good care of the house. Plus he’s a vet! We felt so comfortable and knew our babies were in good hands!”

“I have watched John take care of two family dogs in a loving and responsible way for over seven years, and I think he would be a wonderful dog caregiver. He clearly loves and relates to dogs in a special way. He has experience with all aspects of pet care, including feeding, cleaning, and exercising. He is patient and attentive. He loves to take dogs for walks, and can go either long or short distances. John is very smart, and would quickly pick up any instructions. He is also very clean and careful. I would highly recommend him.”

“Nikki has taken care of my dogs for a couple years now when we go on vacation. She is very attentive to their needs and although they missed us it is obvious they have been well loved while we were gone. Upon our return, my house is in good order she always cleans up after herself. I would highly recommend Nikki to care for your pets!”

“Over the years I have always been dependent on family to watch our dogs. I really wanted to find someone I felt comfortable with to fill in from time to time. Everyone in my family has dogs so we have always traded off. I found Kelly on Rover, she had good reviews, wasn’t too far away and offered to come do a meet and greet with Oakley, which made me comfortable right away. Kelly communicated with us, sent pictures and updates. I am so happy I made this decision, it was the right one. We came home to a happy pup. Thank you Kelly, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.”

“Rachel was fantastic with my two puppies she came on very short notice. I would not hesitate to use her again. Seamless would be a great description of her service.”

“Cassandra was an excellent sitter. My two babies were well taken care of and happy. She sent us updates, pictures and videos. In the video, you can tell how much my babies felt comfortable and well cared for!!”

“She was so amazing! Leah loved her so much I dont think she was as happy to see me lol She sent photos very often and i never wondered how Leah was doing.. Shes awesome and We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Glenn was awesome. He took great care of our senior dog with anxiety issues. He listened to our concerns and made sure our dog’s needs were met appropriately. He kept us updated on how our dog was doing and even sent a few pictures. We will absolutely being using him again in the future”

About: Hello I current aerve in the US Navy for about 5 years now I use to work at a dog daycare/boarding facility for a little over 3 years along with a little obedience training and the basic commands I have also worked along with a few service dogs and been around with the SPCA for a bit to and I try to give back as much as possible I’m in this more for seeing all the great personalities your dogs have and to make your life a little easier as I was always told nobody can ever love you like your dog could ever or be as loyal and caring as your dog will ever be I hope to hear from you soon thank you!

“Komal was absolutely amazing. My dog is VERY anxious around new people. I had to go out-of-state for a conference and since my regular sitter is no longer available, I had to place my trust in a complete stranger to take care of my dog and stay in my home. Even though Tucker barked and growled, she stuck with it. She was patient with him until he decided to trust her. She even offered to watch him again. Highly highly recommend!”

“We were new to the area and needed a new sitter for our three cats when we were out of town. Kristin was amazing!!! It was so comforting to know that our cats were in such good hands. We received daily photos and updates and the cats seemed genuinely comfortable with her since the first visit. We’re already rebooking.”

“Nicky and Jorge were great! They managed my 1yr old, very active, Labrador beautifully and gave my older dog all the care she needed.”

“Everything went great! Debbie kept us informed and up to date on how the stay was going with pictures and videos, which is always comforting. Upon return home my two Great Danes did not seem stressed out at all, so I know they enjoyed having her here. The house was also in spotless condition! We will definitely have Debbie take care of our giant fur babies again in the future.”

About: I grew up on a horse farm so animals have been the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised caring for animals and that experience shaped not only my skillset, but my soul. Connecting with animals is second nature to me, and I believe it’s my greatest strength. Whether it’s providing gentle care to senior pets, keeping up with energetic puppies!, or understanding the subtle emotional cues of animals, I offer a level of awareness and devotion that I believe sets me apart. Your pets are more than just animals- they’re family, and I’ll care for them with the same love, responsibility, and attention I give to my own. I work for my family so I have the opportunity to plan my schedule which allows me the freedom and more availability to do other things I enjoy- like this! My top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs — from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking routes. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions to the letter, making sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I’m highly attentive, always observing for changes in behavior or health, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved pet is in the hands of someone who truly cares and is fully present.
